Recovering Well

Good news today at the doctor. One surgical drain removed! Woo Hoo! If you know what those are, man they feel great coming out don't they? OUCH. If you are easily grossed out, I'm sorry already, skip to the next paragraph. If you are still reading, I go back in Monday for the other drain to be checked. My right side skin is just not recovering. Not enough regeneration on the back side because the cancer cells were so massive. Pathology report said the tumor was 6 x 4 x 4.5 cm. Yeah, that's pretty darn big. Still draining an average of 40 or more a day. At least all that nasty is getting out of my body instead of staying in.

On the lighter, non-medical side of life, evidently I have been relaxing. Blood pressure has consistently been around 100/60 (I guess technically that's medical). Yeah - you read it right. I'm telling you. Chilled out. I still am not clear to drive. I like being chauffeured. Seriously. But the cheapest I can find one way to work is $50 . Can't pay that twice a day...so I'll stay home. I'm glad I LOVE our house. My better half (Woody, Steve, Stephen - that guy) has been amazing. He took leave from work so he can be here with me and that means he's making our house even more awesome. When he goes to coach in the afternoons, I've had so many different friends pitch in and take care of me. You guys are just amazing. I am feeling truly blessed and realizing there is a big difference between breast cancer and shoulder rotator cuff tears. I thank God daily for my amazing surgeons, and for my precious family and friends. Here's to down time and recovering well.
